Big sister is coming for a visit!

My sister and niece arrive from overseas in a couple of days for a week or so, I am really looking foward to spending time with them, it's going to be a 'girlie' week. The weather should be good enough for us to spend some time enjoying the countryside, beach and pool.....oh yeah, and Walmart! Neither my sister nor my niece have been to this part of the country before and I am excited to show them around. I have to research some of the wineries so we can do some tasting, I'll organise to do some things in the city and I'll get some fresh ingredients from the farmer's market so I can cook some fabulous meals to go with our newly discovered wines!

Today I went to the store to stock up on things I know they like, my sister drinks instant coffee and loves cashews and my niece loves junk food, so I am stocked up on all that. Last week I also did a bit of stocking up on those things and ended up eating the junk food which I regret big time....my metabolism is not like my niece's 29 year old system! My advice is if you are trying to lose weight, or don't want to put on any weight, don't have ANY junk food in the house, having it easily accessible is too tempting! The stuff I bought today for the girls is stashed waaaaaaay back in the cupboard.....I hope it doesn't start knocking on the door to get out!!!!

I had a great clean up the last couple of days, it feels so good to get rid of stuff, don't know why I collect so much rubbish! I seem to accumulate a ton of paper despite most of my business, social, work and photographic dealings are done on the computer..I just don't get it!

With lots of the stuff I had now gone I can feel the 'Chi' flowing a bit better through the place, it feels lighter and cleaner. I will not accumulate so much stuff in my next home, it is totally unnecessary.

My sister visiting has given me a head start on organizing for my relocation back to Australia, the cleaning and packing will be less now and I wont feel so rushed next month when it is time to go! Can you believe it is only a month away? I am getting very nervous about it, but I don't know why, I've been planning to return home for years but 'something' always came up which made me postpone my trip......now it's time.

Can you hear something? KNOCK, KNOCK....who's there?....JUNK FOOD!
